Although I started this blog to make a correction, it turns out I had to make three corrections of my own when Jeff Whitten of Bryan County News responded to an E-mail.

1. The paper is the Bryan County News; not the Bryan County Times.

2. The medal was awarded in July of 1938 not March. Now my sources all said July. My notes said July. I have absolutely no idea why I typed March. But, I thank Mr Whitten for catching my error.

3. Ms Potter is the “editorial director and part owner” not the “editor and part owner” as I stated.

It should also be clarified at this time, the slant I referred to as found in the news stories is actually the slant found in the columns which are found on the editorial page, but are not editorials. There is a distinction between the two that I did not fully appreciate.

I appreciate Mr Whitten taking the time and patience to point out these errors.
